Bits of leftover soap are never convenient to use. What practical use can be made with them instead of discarding them outright?

i think that is taking recycling beyond reponsible and into the riduculous.

My grandmother used to save up a lot of the soap bar "leftovers" and and use them to make bubble bath for the grandkids. She'd take an old nylon and tie the bits into a bundle, then either slip the nylon onto the faucet and the bubbles would be made as the water rushed thru the nylon as the tub filled, or she'd lay it in the tub beneath the faucet with close to the same effect. I have also heard of using nylon type netting to "bag" old soap bar bits for outdoor hand washing....the nylon scrubs hands as the soap makes the suds.

You can save them in a baggie when u get enough you can
make them meld together, if you add a little water(1tbs or so) tighten the baggies and place a book on top/ works most of the time
donate them to a church or scout group to cut up and put in homade soaps

You can take a sock that has lost it's mate and place the bars of soap in it and tie off the ends and use it in the shower.

I let them dissolve when taking a tub bath. Makes the water a bit soapier

Liquid cleansing soap and purely liquid cleansing soap. micro organism can actually survive bar cleansing soap, so in case you proportion bar cleansing soap with everybody else, you will possibly be able to desire to be rubbing their micro organism throughout your self somewhat of having clean. (We cultured the exterior of bars of cleansing soap in a microbiology classification and found staph and e-coli on the exterior of the cleansing soap, eww)

If you get enough of them, melt them down and make your own bar of soap.
